Gaza hospital attack: Analysis contradicts Israel’s evidence justifying airstrike

5 comments

1. Summary:

   – Israel bomb a hospital, killing tens of people, claiming there are Hamas tunnels below it.

   – They release a video as proof, showing damage to “terrorist infrastructure”.

   – It turns out the building in the video is not the hospital they bombed, but a completely separate building.

   – On top of that, there appears to be no damage to the “Hamas tunnels”.

   – On top of *that*, the “Hamas tunnels” are actually a drainage system.

2. Reality contradicts Israel justification for existing. I’m not surprised other stuff contradicts it too. Matter of fact I was quite expecting it. Can’t wait for the zionazis to claim that this is somehow ok

3. At this point, it’s near enough Israel’s word vs everybody else’s (humanitarian NGOs, rights groups, independent analysts, legal experts, and even mainstream media increasingly).

4. But this Saudi Newspaper quotes Hamas officials claiming that there were tunnels there:

   “Sources from Gaza-based factions told Asharq Al-Awsat that the location did in fact contain a tunnel system previously damaged in the 2014 war. Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, reportedly managed to restore the tunnels, which had only suffered minor damage in earlier attacks during the current conflict.”

   [Elusive Assassination Target, ‘Shadow Unit’ Founder: Who Is Mohammed al-Sinwar?](https://english.aawsat.com/arab-world/5143295-elusive-assassination-target-%E2%80%98shadow-unit%E2%80%99-founder-who-mohammed-al-sinwar)

   And we still don’t have confirmation either way on whether Sinwar was hit on this occasion.

5. I’m sorry, but isn’t it pretty clear already that Mohammad Sinwar was killed in the underground tunnel under the European hospital, why is missing from the article? If it’s indeed strikes around the same date this is some pretty bad journalism.
